Some very interesting traffic heading to Scotland for Cop 26.

PRES101 from Aerolinas Argentinas appears to be about to land at Prestwick.

Private jet LNX29KG also en route to Glasgow.

Looks like G-POLS, a police helicopter is now up over central Glasgow… could be a sign?

@notimagain

That’s an interesting one, it’s an E-4B (a 747) fitted out as an airborne command post.

What does that mean for a novice like me?!

notimagain · 02/11/2021 20:52

@fuckyourpronouns

Must be something going on to have so much US airforce activity around Cambridgeshire?!

I can't find GRIM99 anymore!

GRIM 999 headed south west, over central London, currently (52 minutes past the hour) over Southampton still heading south west.

Interested in this thread?

…and GRIM999 has just swung around to head west..looks to me like it’s heading for the start of an Atlantic crossing.

Three air ambulances in the sky Sad

notimagain · 02/11/2021 20:57

My apologies, it’s GRIM 99..

Terriffids · 02/11/2021 21:06

GRIM99 currently over Cornwall heading towards the Atlantic.

I watched it come on Friday from a military base at Washington and was accompanied by 2 USAF aircraft who constantly circled above it till it reached Canadian airspace at which point they returned to Washington.

I think Biden is on his way along as yet again there is a helicopter right above the M8

NigelSlatersXmasTaters · 02/11/2021 21:12

Appears to be a helicopter following something along the M8 towards edinburgh

Sofia73 · 02/11/2021 21:13

Yes he's clearly going straight to the airport. Doubt he will make 21:25 take off with current position though.

CormoranStrike · 02/11/2021 21:13

Showing as cancelled on flight radar

"Yes he's clearly going straight to the airport. Doubt he will make 21:25 take off with current position though."

Not passed Dalmahoy yet. You never know he might do what he did in Rome and stay another night.

notimagain · 02/11/2021 21:24

The flightradar info at this stage may well be based on the flight plan which can end up being cancelled/refilled with different timings as circumstances change.

HadEnoughOfBears · 02/11/2021 21:26

What flight is Kamala Harris on? Where did she fly into?

HadEnoughOfBears · 02/11/2021 21:27

Helicopter is above Uphall / Broxburn right now

HadEnoughOfBears · 02/11/2021 21:30

Just seen the lights of Joe Biden's cavalcade going along the M8

Teuchterlass · 02/11/2021 21:35

It will be interesting to see how long it takes between getting to the airport and taking off. No queues at check-in for him.

ReginaaPhalange · 02/11/2021 21:36

Looks like the helicopter is heading towards dalmahoy

InsaneInTheMomBrain · 02/11/2021 21:37

The Edi salaries board shows all flights after AF1 delayed by 15 minutes, so maybe they're just waiting for Biden to arrive. The police helicopter has been travelling slowly so maybe the road traffic is slower than expected.

NigelSlatersXmasTaters · 02/11/2021 21:38

Yeah, looks like he's off to the airport. Bet he doesn't have to take his belt and flip flops off

InsaneInTheMomBrain · 02/11/2021 21:38

Departure board!
